I'm sorry to hear that. I think you were looking for the word lithotripsy (I might have it spell wrong).
I've witness EHL and ESWL and those are pretty simple procedures. They take about an hour or so and the urologist just has to be patient. Some require a second visit. I will be sending positive energy for a speedy recovery. |

Okay....they wouldn't do the Lyth thing....said he wasn't a viable candidate for that procedure, but they didn't say why and no one asked. Now they are waiting on a cardiologist to see if they can do surgery, but it doesn't look good . They are very upset that he quit taking his heart and diabeties Meds. Jerry did say that if they let him out for any reason, he won't go back. I don't understandtand him

Does he take after Mom, as far as being stubborn? I hope they can do something for him, and that they do not let him out!!!

Oh Judy....people have no idea what stubbornness is in my family....they don't give an inch. Tomorrow my younger brother will break his last record, it will be 12 days since he has seen or spoke with Mom...such an a$$. All because I told him he needed to let me know when he was coming to visit.
The Drs. decided to treat Jerry as an out-patient and try to dissolve the stones. Great.....now he'll never go back. The way things are going I'll lose him before Mom. They may let him out of the hospital tomorrow afternoon. Judy....someday we really need to get together....lol

Oh Janet......I'm so sorry to hear all of this........you have so much on your plate right now. You've been in my prayers!! Your brother's health problems are nobody's fault but his own.......and so are the consequenses......Unfortunately. You just do not stop heart medicines or diabetes medicines. I'm so sorry that this is all so stressful on you and wish that there was some way I could help.

That's good.....maybe this is a wake up call and he'll change his ways. It's not fun taking medicine and all that goes with getting older but I would also hate to miss out on all the things that go on with my family!!! Maybe he'll do it for his family.
